Introduction

John Deere 4200 Compact Utility Tractor

The John Deere 4200 is a compact utility tractor produced in Augusta, Georgia, USA, between 1998 and 2001. It belongs to the 4000 series, bridging the gap between smaller sub-compact models and larger utility tractors, and was designed for versatile use in agricultural, landscaping, and grounds maintenance applications.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled engine featuring direct injection, providing a gross power output of 26.3 hp (19.6 kW) and a net power of 24.3 hp (18.1 kW). It operates at a rated speed of 2700 RPM. The engine uses a dry-type air cleaner and an air heater for pre-heating, ensuring reliable cold-weather starts.

Transmission Options

Operators have a choice between two transmission systems. The SyncShift transmission is a partially synchronized unit offering 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, requiring the tractor to be stopped when changing ranges. Alternatively, a 3-range hydrostatic transmission provides infinite speed control via two foot pedals, complemented by a push-button cruise control feature.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The open-center hydraulic system generates a total flow of 12.3 gpm (46.6 lpm) at a system pressure of 2125 psi (146.5 bar). It includes two valves for implement operation. The rear Category I hitch utilizes position control and offers a lift capacity of 1700 lbs (771 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.

Mechanical Configuration

The 4200 is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. It features power steering for maneuverability, mechanical rear differential lock, and differential wet disc brakes. The tractor is equipped with a two-post fixed ROPS as standard, with a folding version available as an option.

Conclusion

"With its compact dimensions, 26 hp engine, and flexible transmission options, the John Deere 4200 serves as a reliable multi-purpose tool for property owners and small-scale farmers requiring a balance of maneuverability and hydraulic capability."
